radio shack

I purchased the pro-162 and took it to radio shack. They hooked it up to their computer and programmed it for me! However, Its not picking up the 800's.. It does the 100's but not the 800's. The 800's are in bank three: BANK 3: CH0: 866.20000 CH1: 866.75000 CH2: 867.45000 CH3: 868.13750 CH4...

I have a Radio Shack Pro-97 scanner but dont have the programming cable or the Pro-97 software at this time. I'm trying to program it to carry the frequencies for the Friendswood VFD along with the FVD's of surrounding areas. I cleared the device to factory default and have gotten all of the...

Hey folks, I just wanted to say that I FINALLY managed to buy a Pro-106! I have been been aiming to get this particular scanner ever since last Christmas, when I was given a Pro-164, which unfortunately does not cover my area (P-25, in the National Capital Region). I never managed to find any in...

I was e-mailed, and noticed in my regular mail as well, the beginning of ads promoting the "Father's Day Sales" which have been synonymous with Radio Shack for as long as I can remember. Now, Father's Day is obviously a couple of weeks yet ahead, but I noticed sales prices on the Pro-164 for...

I just got a PRO-164 scanner today and had the trunking channels set up at radio shack. The link to the trunking channels for my area is Scanner Frequencies: Sheboygan County Trunking System, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. However when i listen to the channels i hear nothing no static or any sign of...

Hello, Does anyone know where to get the BNC connector for the Pro-97 or a compatible part number for the connector? Also, Does anyone know where to get the plastic housing for the Pro-97??? Thanks, Dylan Beck KI4MOC

Hello, I just purchased my first scanner. When trying to program it, I learned all about trunking. I live in Volusia County, Florida. The numbers are here: Scanner Frequencies: Volusia County Public Safety Trunking System, Volusia County, Florida. My county uses the EDACS system. When I attempt...

I have a Radio Shack Pro-162; I understand it is rebranded form Uniden. I am interested in writing my own programming software, so I have two questons: 1) Does this scanner us the same protocols as the Uniden scanners, or did Radio SHack insert its own? 2) Where can I get a copy of the...

I just uploaded my 164 using Win 97. Everything on the conventional side works fine. The Motorola UHF Trunking does not stop on talk group IDs that are programmed, yet if I manually work through the channels finding traffic, the ID's are appropriately read. All Trunk Channels and Control...

I'm not sure where exactly to post this as it covers a bunch of topics. I'm new to scanning, and I'm trying to learn how to program in different channels. I've got the RS Pro-162, and I'm using BuTeL's ARC 160 to program it from my PC. I've entered the listed frequencies for the SCPD MOT II...

I have a Radio Shack Pro-2006 still in excellent condition, but I now have an AC power hum, especially on AM channels. My guess is that a power supply capacitor failed after all these years. Has anyone else come upon this and, if so, have any ideas regarding which capacitor(s) or other...

Still looking for a picture of that first scanner you owned way back when? Check out http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/. Someone has put a lot of time and effort into scanning and posting old catalogs going back to the 40s. It's a real blast from the past! Found my first ... the PocketScan...

I have a Pro-97 from Radio Shack and I do not have the software or cable because I program it all on the scanner itself. I know how to change the alpha tags on the scanner itself but I wanted to know if it is possible to change the bank names without connecting it to a computer, and how it is done.

A good luck story here, I bought a PRO-2096 in new condition from Ebay for a quarter of the new price. It said "fault on computer I/P socket causing radio to remain in clone mode. Sold as seen." Well, ten minutes with a soldering iron and I have now a perfectly servicable 2096. Now all I need...

My pro 97 will skip out enough to be annoying, especially when I am trying to hear an address and i'll only get part of the information. I might have it set incorrectly because my friend has a very basic RS scanner, I placed them side by side and when a call came through every few seconds mine...

I plan on purchasing the new RadioShack Pro-106 scanner. I am not sure on what software to get though. My current scanner is a RadioShack Pro-70...I know, OLD! I just recently started looking into new scanners and I am overwhelmed by how much they have changed. All this new technology is...

Both are listed a my local RS as "Clearance" for $379.00 What is going to replace them?

This may be a stupid question, but I'm unable to figure out (I've read the information on the starrsoft website) exactly how to import the freqs into a channel bank in Win 96. I'm fine through all the steps including "Write XML". But what do I need to do after that? I've tried importing the...

I got my hands on the Pro 96 when they first came out. For the most part, I have been happy with it. The clip on the rear of the scanner did break about a year ago. I finally bought the cable and software to program it to. Now, the scanner will no longer charge or work on a/c power due to a...

Hello again! It's Me!! I recently had a problem with my baby.(police scanner). Itis the Radio Shack Pro-2018. Well, the antenna broke as I was moving it. It was bend. And snapped. I was so terrified that I right away went to radioreference.com and wanted to get a new scanner. So, I did. I...
